The embarrassment on Zhou Fu's face when Chen Yuan caught her sneaking glances at his big muscles was not even a tenth of what she felt now.

Her cheeks, flushed with shame, were gradually replaced by a sense of being at a loss.

The next moment, Li Youyou and three other classmates emerged from the restroom side by side.

Similarly, the moment they bumped into Zhou Fu, their original smiles suddenly froze, and their eyes began to dart around, avoiding contact.

Li Youyou, in particular, who had just said, "I'm not that close to her," was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

Such a scene, if it appeared on TV, would make people want to skip it by scratching their feet.

In reality, it was even worse.

Everyone knew that secretly slandering and attacking others was human nature. Anyone could become the subject of gossip. For example, these four sisters, who looked as orderly as Tsarist soldiers, had 11 possible combinations.

If you can't figure out 11, go to Lao Mo's place and get a slap in the face.

And just like the gossiping aunties at the village entrance, they didn't dare to leave the restroom for too long, fearing they would become the target of an attack if they weren't there.

The charm of talking behind people's backs lay here—a sense of excitement in testing the boundaries, while also having a sense of security in hiding in the shadows.

But once this window paper was pierced, if there was no immediate conflict, they could only pretend to be stupid when interacting in the future.

Of course, that was all in the future.

What to do now?

[This is going to be fun. Zhou Fu isn't going to blow up, is she...]

Among the four, the tall girl with slender eyes was a bit different from the others. She actually had the mentality of someone who enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

Because she wasn't the one who came up with the idea earlier, and she wasn't the one who answered.

Standing on the sidelines, she wanted to see a good show.

[This is too embarrassing. Chen Yuan saw this scene. I might as well run away!]

No, Zhou Fu, what do you mean? You can blame me for this?

Thinking of quickly escaping the battlefield, Chen Yuan shook his hands in the sink, dried them, and quietly slipped away, positioned between the two forces.

Leaving Zhou Fu to face the four of them.

Entering the restroom now would cause her to bump into them. That moment of proximity would be the most awkward.

But turning around and leaving would be too embarrassing.

It would be like being bullied and having no choice but to run away...

Thinking of this, her neck was already hot, and her earlobes felt like they were being pricked by tiny thorns, hot and itchy...

"Aren't you buying a drink?"

Just then, Chen Yuan turned his head in confusion and spoke to her.

"Oh, oh... yeah, let's go."

As if falling into a well, surrounded by no one, almost in despair, and suddenly someone reached out from the outside, hearing Chen Yuan's voice, she grabbed him without hesitation.

Escape from here.

"She... shouldn't have heard, right?" the girl who suggested isolating Zhou Fu asked nervously.

"That expression, she definitely heard," said the girl with the upturned eyes.

"I told you not to talk about this topic. You kept talking about it. Now she..."

Li Youyou was truly speechless. Although she hadn't slandered Zhou Fu behind her back, she had now become the biggest villain.

"You're not friends with her anyway. You said so yourself. What are you afraid of?"

"Yeah, look how long she's been here and she's already hooking up with Chen Yuan? She definitely doesn't care about her relationships with girls. Don't worry."

Their comfort was not comforting at all. Instead, it was like a continuation of their behind-the-back slander, with malice even deeper than before. As if by defining Zhou Fu as that kind of frivolous girl, their behind-the-scenes attacks were not so excessive, and even had a hint of condescending nobility.

But Li Youyou knew that these few were just talking nonsense. As Zhou Fu's desk mate, she was the most uncomfortable.

"It's okay, let's change desk mates. Talk to Lao Mo. Tang Jian is always mumbling in class, affecting my studies. You switch places with him. We'll sit together."

The tall girl with the upturned eyes offered a constructive solution, comforting Li Youyou. Then, she said quite seriously, "You have to tell Teacher Mo, make sure you switch Tang Jian's position with mine."

How annoying. Not only have I offended Zhou Fu, but I've also made the few good-looking boys in the class think I'm that kind of green tea...

……

"Li Youyou is quite the 'tea' (green tea b*tch), huh."

While walking side by side with Zhou Fu on the track, Chen Yuan took the initiative to speak to ease the awkwardness.

"I didn't expect her to be so 'tea', saying such things behind my back..."

Zhou Fu bit her lip, her tone a bit aggrieved.

Actually, before Chen Yuan spoke, she was just embarrassed. His words made her seem especially pitiful.

"Those few girls are quite gossipy, and their relationships with the girls in the class are generally poor. You don't have to take it to heart. It's definitely not your problem."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he suddenly realized that scolding people behind their backs was quite enjoyable.

No wonder they liked to do it.

This feeling of being able to say whatever you want without spending money and having people agree with you was like being a keyboard warrior online, having a demonic quality.

"Really?" Zhou Fu turned her head to look at Chen Yuan, asking with concern, "Is it really not my problem?"

Actually...

It really was Zhou Fu's problem.

Through the thoughts of those few girls, Chen Yuan heard some extra information. They were all jealous of Zhou Fu's face, and even more hostile to those towering peaks.

In fact, if her chest wasn't so big, and she just had a pretty face, she would be quite popular. After all, in any group, a good-looking face was always at the top of the food chain. So the reason she was attacked was transferred to her figure, which was too mature for a high school student.

Of course, the most important thing was her personality.

Zhou Fu was too introverted, lacking the courage to boldly expand her interpersonal relationships in a new environment, trying to let time take her and gradually integrate into the collective.

And this gave people an aura of being aloof and pretentious, deepening the misunderstanding.

In reality, she was just a repressed pervert.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Yuan said casually, not caring at all, "Besides, when something happens, you should blame others more and forgive yourself. Who would reflect on themselves after being disgusted?"

The secret to longevity for modern people—non-stick pan, low quality, foul mouth.

"Yeah... that's right."

Zhou Fu also didn't think there was anything wrong with her.

From elementary school to now, she had also had good friends. Since she could become friends with others, that meant there was definitely nothing wrong with her character.

It was just that she had developed quickly since she was a child, so she was often ostracized by some boring girls, who said disgusting things behind her back.

She didn't expect that even after transferring schools, it was still unavoidable.

Why are my breasts so big?

"Chen Yuan, you bastard, betrayal... the wounds of betrayal never heal!"

While passing by the basketball court, Zhou Yu saw the two of them walking side by side on the track, and his mentality exploded on the spot.

You can't beat me in basketball, so you're using off-court tactics?

[He's jealous...]

Seeing Zhou Yu's reaction, a blush suddenly appeared on Zhou Fu's cheeks, and her gloomy mood was swept away, revealing a slightly shy expression.

What the hell, what kind of jealousy is this? He's just jealous that I'm getting close to you...

Wait, who the hell are you saying is jealous?

Don't be disgusting, you pervert.

If you keep this up, I'm really going to shoot you!

However, the intimate act of him and Zhou Fu walking together was more or less ambiguous in the eyes of others.

Although Eleventh High School wasn't so exaggerated as to prohibit opposite sexes from walking side by side, in order to improve the enrollment rate, they were very strict about catching early romances.

After all, the school leaders, based on the spirit of "guilty until proven innocent," naturally frowned upon this kind of behavior.

The two of them walking together so openly was like young men and women in the old society talking without being furtive... not in accordance with the Zhou Dynasty rituals (etiquette).

Of course, Chen Yuan had never been afraid.

Because he thought that anyone who caught early romances was an idiot.

Moreover, "walk straight and sit upright" was his way.

What could be wrong with buying a drink with a girl?

Wait... there really was something wrong.

Xia Xinyu didn't even dare to eat breakfast outside to save a few dollars, yet he was buying drinks at the convenience store like a young master. How could he bring himself to buy them?

"Can you drink this?"

While he was hesitating, Zhou Fu had already taken two cans of 330ml slim cans of Coke from the supermarket, and then handed both bottles to him.

"Do you want me to help you open it?"

Chen Yuan didn't understand why there were two cans, so he thought she wanted him to help open them.

Zhou Fu shook her head: "I don't drink Coke..."

"Then why are there two cans?"

In response, Zhou Fu nervously twisted her thumbs alternately, averted her gaze, and said shyly in a low voice, "Well, you can give one can to Zhou Yu..."

"No, both cans are mine."
